About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
By reading this summary, you will discover how Henry Ford wanted to recreate a small North America in the middle of the Amazon jungle of Brazil in the 1920s and 1930s.
You will also discover that :
- Henry Ford hated cow's milk;
- He was a great fan of folk dances;
- The people of Fordlandia were encouraged to eat wholegrain bread and wholegrain rice;
- Fordlandia was twice the size of the state of Delaware;
- At first, crime was all-powerful in Fordlandia;
- Henry Ford enforced Prohibition in Fordlandia.
The forgotten city of the jungle, so one could call Fordlandia, the American colony created from scratch by Henry Ford in the heart of the Amazon jungle. The author, Greg Grandin, tells like a novel a true story, with protagonists who have the stature of the men who make the story. Henry Ford is unquestionably of this calibre. This plunge into the Brazilian primary forest is also a plunge into the consciousness of Puritan America and its fundamental anguish.
